there's that 'ceremony' word again, if we look at the words in chinese
it is wu-wo gathering and or association, yes it is a ceremony/ritual,
i suggest trying the pot outside wu-wo tea ceremony style, which is
making tea outside with nature, just bring a bag, thermos, a few cups,
teapot with tealeaf, wrap up the teaware in cloths, this can be fun...
